Now, it is very popular for pregnant women to eat bird's nest. Many pregnant women believe that eating bird's nest during pregnancy can improve the skin of both the mother and the baby after childbirth. Bird's nest does indeed help pregnant women with excessive heat in their bodies. However, every pregnant woman's constitution is different, and it is not suitable for pregnant women with a cold constitution to eat bird's nest. The following are some conditions in which pregnant women especially need the care of bird's nest.
1. The first three months of pregnancy (0-12 weeks), known as early pregnancy.
This stage is the important period when the fetus undergoes rapid differentiation and can be said to be the period when the fetus "assembles and forms". Early pregnancy can cause pregnancy reactions, such as feeling dizzy, fatigued, and sleepy, as well as reduced appetite. Some people may also have abnormal appetite, picky eating, a liking for sour taste, and a dislike for greasy food. During this time, it is important to supplement nutrition. You can try eating bird's nest separately, avoiding spicy and greasy foods during the consumption period, eating small meals frequently, and eating regularly. It is recommended to consume 3-5 grams of dried bird's nest each time, once a day or every other day. Since the amount of food consumed is small, vomiting is generally not a problem. It can be consumed on an empty stomach in the morning and evening. If the severe period of pregnancy reaction is over, it is recommended to consume bird's nest again. After the reaction period, it is necessary to engage in outdoor and group activities during the day to distract attention, which helps to reduce the severity of pregnancy reactions and relieve psychological pressure.
2. Pregnancy weeks 13-27 are considered mid-term pregnancy.
This is a period when both the mother and the fetus are stable. Early pregnancy reactions disappear, and the mood becomes pleasant. The belly is not too big, and movements are still convenient. The fetus develops rapidly during this period. At this time, bird's nest can be used in various recipes to enjoy delicious food while providing fast and nutritious support for both oneself and the baby. It is recommended to consume 3-5 grams of dried bird's nest each time, once a day. It can be consumed on an empty stomach in the morning and evening.
3. Pregnancy after 28 weeks is considered late-term pregnancy.
During this period, it is important to avoid excessive fatigue. When consuming bird's nest, pay attention not to consume too much salt. It is recommended to consume bird's nest in the morning to avoid fatigue caused by waiting for an empty stomach at night. It is recommended to consume 3-5 grams of dried bird's nest each time, once a day or every other day. After admission to the hospital, it is recommended to choose instant bird's nest, with a dosage of 20 to 30 grams each time, to avoid the need for family members to stew it for a long time.
4. Postpartum women
To relieve the fatigue of breastfeeding, restore the slim figure before giving birth, recover from stretch marks and inhibit postpartum pigmentation, and ensure sufficient nutrition for milk production, bird's nest is the best natural nourishing food. Good adjustment during this time can eliminate some stubborn problems and lay a solid foundation for future health. It is recommended to consume 3-5 grams of dried bird's nest each time, once a day. It can be consumed on an empty stomach in the morning and evening.
